Catholic School Parents Conference

Every 2 years parents, carers & educators from across our 11 Catholic dioceses in NSW and ACT and around Australia come together for a weekend of networking, sharing and learning to engage parents in the faith development, learning & well-being of their children.

On the 8, 9 & 10 September, 2017 you are invited to join the conversation on the evolving role of parents in contemporary education as together with school communities, we prepare our children to be ‘fit for the future’, particularly for the work place of the future.

Running parallel, on the Saturday, will be a fantastic Kids Conference where primary-age students will have the opportunity to build their creativity, practice mindfulness& explore technological skills.

The weekend will be hosted by Broken Bay Catholic School Parentsand held in the magnificent surrounds of St Paul's Catholic College, Manly, where the new state-of-the-art
Waterford Hall (above) sits beside the historic ‘Archbishops Residence’ - overlooking beautiful Sydney Harbour (right).
